PICS - I just received this Tuesday. I couldn't wait to get some pics...
1970 Plymouth Road Runner Hemi Convertible, GMP.

GMP sure does a nice job under the hood! Is that a fabric top?

GMP got most of the key aspects of the '70 B body cars right
But I think the front windshield is swept back
At too much of an angle. They have really big gaps
Between back of hood and cowl, they ride too high
(stock cars sat lower on the springs), and on the road runners
With trail dust stripes, they located them wrong.
The end of trail dust should be centered in side scoop
Feature.
However, there is much to like about them.
They are only super detailed '70 model year,
Have some nice color and options featured,
Good body proportions, and cool features like the
Hood scoop, pistol grips that move, glove box doors that open. I have this one, the black GTX 440 car and the ivy green hemi GTX.

Nice addition. Love the B5 blue. I have the yellow
Road Runner (wheels were swapped by its former owner).
Really nice models & I love the fact that the front windows crank up & down.

Very nice. Great color.

Beauty! I have the orange version.

Stripe?
photo no longer available
Here is my 1:1 I owned in the original paint and stripes, I think you are wrong.

according to your picture. GMP is wrong.
your trail dust strip ends in the center opening of the fake scoop on the quarter panel. Look at the pic of the GMP convertible. the end of the trail dust stripe enters the fake scoop at the top......

Well, the mold got spirited away to never never land. So...

I probably have the only one of any colour in Scotland - it's blue

The 1:1 was a one off, therefore perhaps the dust trail stripe was positioned differently?

Excellent ! This is a real knockout of a car.
15/11/2012 10:28 am
Great, except NO ONE ordered their cars with dog dishes unless they were going to be...
... immediately replaced with aftermarket wheels!

Daniel Roof of Glandorf, Ohio did!

Fantastic eng. compartment John. GMP did A+ work on these but they always sit a bit high.
